السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
A few examples are as follows :
1. It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (salAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was keen to fast on Mondays and Thursdays.
(Tirmidhi)
2. Abu Dharr Al-Ghifaari said, The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad {Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam} said:
"Whoever fasts from every month three days, it is like
fasting the whole year, then Allah revealed what backs this in His book Whoever comes with a good deed, he is rewarded ten folds, one day for ten."
[Ibn Majah]
3. The Prophet(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) has said, " One fast during these days(9 days of Zul Hijjah) is equal to the fasting of one
complete year, and the worship of one night during this period is equal to the worship in the "Lailatul-Qadr ". (Tirmidhi)
